Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-19 16:21:54 UTC 
Currently cronbase assumes the existance of 'cron' group, installing files using it. Unfortunately such a group doesn't exists on FreeBSD layout and needs to be fixed someway.

A simple call to enewgroup in pkg_setup or where needed should be enough.

Thanks, Diego

Fixed in 0.3.2.

can we update cronbase with `enewuser` too:

enewuser cron 16 /bin/false /var/spool/cron 16

Yeah I was debating whether to add it also but didn't.  I'll add it.
